E&C BIPARTISAN LEADERS DEMAND ONLINE MARKETPLACES DIVULGE EFFORTS TO REMOVE HARMFUL, RECALLED PRODUCTS FROM PLATFORMS

Letter

The U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is tasked with keeping the public safe from consumer products that pose an unreasonable risk of injury or death. In addition to its own work, the CPSC relies on online marketplaces, like Meta, to keep consumers safe by preventing the posting for sale of products that are known to be dangerous. It is our understanding that Meta has been falling short on this mission.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Meta's failure to prevent recalled products from being posted for sale on its platform has resulted in your users and their children being placed at risk of purchasing and using a product that CPSC has found to pose a serious risk of injury and potential death.
